I don't post often, but when I do, I further the god damned discussion! I can't help but think that Film Critic Hulk would have been more interesting as a voice acted series, though, to get back to the dominant thread topic. These reviews should be read aloud by the guy who voiced Fawkes in Fallout 3.

Which isn't really a story and isn't really revolutionary. We as people don't connect to plot points, we shouldn't.

Just because something is "cool," doesn't mean it's worthwhile. If being cool is all that matters then Michael Bay= J.J. Abrams and we should all worry for Star Wars.


We can just stop right there, because I agree with all of the criticisms the article offers about Abrams. I was just arguing with you in hopes that you'll eventually play a game with me again.

That's why I dislike Lost as much as I like it. I think it's a good show that gets in the way of itself, because of the convoluted plot.


When the essence of your show's conclusion is "Didn't matter, went to heaven" in response to all of the oddly specific things that happened to the characters on the island, I agree that the convolution severely hampered it as a whole.

If fans want to argue that much of the island lore development was irrelevant to the bigger picture, then most of the show is nothing but a series of Chekhov's guns.

I've been backing away from the computer mostly. GW2 was like a kick in the guts. I play Smite....sometimes. And TF2. Smite is like a better LoL. I still like League, but eh, too serious.

We can take this one to the game board, or email me.

More tangents!
